my first time using the trailer for groceries - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

This is not earthshaking. It's not even all that impressive, but ...

Today i hooked up my thrift store Burley trailer and headed off to my
grocer, not far, maybe two or three miles. I've always used a backpack
for trips before.

Wow, but those Burley trailers carry a big load! Not counting the 10#
sack of potatoes, i needed three trips to carry everything into the
kitchen. :-)

The ride was quite pleasant, partly because I wasn't in hammer-commute
mode. Plus, it was a nice day, here in the region of the greater
suburban chicagoland metropolitan area.

Thus another class of car trip is rendered unnecessary.

Congrats. How do you lock up the trailer when you are shopping?

i picked up a longish length of lightweight chain at the hardware store,
it's more of a reminder not to steal than a preventative.
